Today I received your very nice package- thanks so much! It came in excellent condition and nothing was spoiled. T Shirts are what I needed as I wear them while on duty here. I wrote Mom yesterday to send some to me. The ‘cheer’ was a good treat- we are allowed a liquor ration now and will be getting the first of it in July.

Yesterday I received your V-mail of May 21st- also letters from Mom and Buck Karstadt, two packages, eight newspapers and a book of G.I. Cartoons from Milly & Lorne. This was my first mail in several days- are my letters reaching you in good time?

Not much has happened since my last letter, the latest is that the French are to take over this camp sometime in August. If so, we could either go home for redeployment there or up into Germany to administer a similar set-up. The latter is frowned upon by all.
